Hi all, The 49th London Wikimeet will take place on Sunday 11th September: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/London/49 We're hoping that the finalist candidates for the position of Wikimedia UK's chief exec will be able to attend this wikimeet, although this is still to be confirmed. This will follow from the first stage of interviews on 1-2 September and the second (and final) set of interviews on 9th September. We'll be making the final decision on who to appoint to the position a few days after the wikimeet - and your views of the candidates at the wikimeet will be particularly important in making this decision. In order to enable non-London wikimedians to attend this wikimeet and meet the candidates, WMUK is offering to cover travel costs to get to the wikimeet for up to 6 non-London wikimedians. To apply to have your travel costs covered, please send me an email by the 9th September, giving a brief rationale for why we should support your attendance (focusing on the presence of the future chief exec and questions you would like to ask them, the development of future wikimeets, or similar), and an estimation of your travel costs. Please note that we can't support attendance without prior approval by email. Thanks, Mike
